1. You need to Download & Install following drivers:

2. Once you are done with driver installation, simply follow printer adding instructions:

Hope this helps…

    Thanks, the instructions helped, my ml-1210 work with SL. However, the printer does not print quite properly – the first couple of lines of each page does not fit into the printing area. Does anyone know how can this issue be fixed?

    Hi, I have 10.6.3 and a Samsung ML-1710 printer. I followed the instructions above and was able to print, however the job doesn’t exit the print queue so I’m unable to make any additional prints. I have to either delete the job after it finishes and wait an hour for it to be deleted or I can delete and reinstall the printer. It’s getting to be a real annoyance.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks again.

    Thank you so much. I just upgraded to 10.6.4. and was dismayed when my printer didn’t work. I had forgotten about the headache I went through getting my Samsung ML-1710 printer to work in the first place, two and a half years ago.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was easy and it is working like a charm.

    Much appreciated.

    I’ve managed to find all the files except for the foomatic-rip-2008-01-30.dmg. I a newer version that exhibits a problem with the top margin being too high. Once I find the correct file. I will post them up for everyone who needs to get one of the Samsung printers working.

    Whilst searching for the Foomatic-RIP. cam across this site…

    I’ve not tried it yet, and will attempt to see if I can make it work with my ML-1520, from my MacBookPro running Lion.

    This is a very old post. In newer version of MacOS, printer drivers are auto detected. So don’t need to follow the procedure mentioned in this post.
